Beginner is no problem....we all had to start spmewhere.I do advice you to start with the tutorial flight from the intrduction manual though!

But yes.....your picture show exactly what I mean.You are switching the Capt side switch to PLAN but you are looking at the right CDU (FMC) which is the wrong one.You should be looking at the left CDU for the STEP prompt to appear if you change things on the left EFIS control panel (EFIS = Electronic Flight Instruments System).......but your left CDU is invisible.....why I do not know?!LEFT EFIS control panel changes/sets things on left PFD/ND/CDURight EFIS control panel changes/sets things on right PFD/ND/CDU

IFyou change seats to the FO side (hit the "A" key once) and then change to PLAN mode with the FO EFIS, you will see that the RIGHT CDU will display the STEP prompt!

I will try windowed mode here and see what my left CDU does.

edit: no problem here with undocked CDUs- They both display as they should.

I use FSX boxed version.

Also, try without any other software addons for FSX running (EZCA....etc, turn it off)
